Es la misma critica

"Nothing I do pleases her, and yet, because she is my mother, I keep trying"(Ling, 85).

"After four years in college and two more in graduate school, and still no husband, my father shakes his head even now and says I wasted all that education" (Cisneros, 80).

She is broken record 
every time that I go back home
Es la misma critica 
Nothing I do pleases her.
All she says, all she does simply discourages me
Why couldn't you be more like your sister?
Why don't you find yourself a good man 
Good men are hard to come by, so start looking!
Fix your hair,
it's always in your face,
lose some weight.
What are you going to do after you graduate?
Que te estan ensenado en la escuela?
You can't even speak Spanish
What has happened to your common sense?
Why don't you learn to make some molecito?
All you need to do is grind up some chilito, like this. 
Porque eres tan malacriada
Siempre te pones a llorrar, no seas llorrona
Es la misma critica
Nothing I do pleases her.
Hold up, let me play her back
Madre mia, mama...
Some days I wish I would have stayed,
May be it would have been easier...
But I chose to run away.
I wanted to discover myself
Perhaps one day I’ll be your pride and joy.
Find a good man, get married, be successful
And give you everything you and daddy wished for when you first came 34 years ago
Yes, My Spanish could be better
that way I could communicate all the things that I keep pent up
I would have told you
all about
all the nights spent in tears,
all the things I hid from you,
boy that introduced me to love and heart break
But all those things I cannot express to you
because they would just be added to the list of criticas
Madre mia, nothing I do pleases you, 
but I'll keep trying because you are my mother 
And hopefully one day I'll have all those things you want for me, but for now
I have to obtain what I want for me.
